BOOP! My random thread of randomness...

[LonelyGeek]

As I'm trying to take a bigger part in this here community...here is a thread of my random thoughts and stuff.

What's on my brain today...

Mechwarrior online is driving me up the wall (WORK DAMN IT)
Forge World has a new site and I must have that centurion!
A nearly 2 years without sex...yay ;n;

Surely you have sexed with yourself.

 

[LonelyGeek]

That I have. Quite frequently...I get bored a lot.

Have you considered that the first two line items might very well be contributing to the third?

 

[LonelyGeek]

If they are contributing in any way to the third then I have no issue. I'd rather be alone and remain myself than change to get someone.

Bullshit.

Spending less time playing video games and more time approaching women makes you "not tourself," how?

 

[sweepthefloor]

Sex is the sex, in the mind you are never alone.

 

[sweepthefloor]

You do not have to change-- if it is video games have a threesome with the controller.

 

[LonelyGeek]

Spending time after work relaxing with games is no issue at all, which is what I am doing. Social anxiety and a few other things prevent me from approaching women.

I am social when I am comfortable being social. I know my own appeals and and/or lack thereof.

 

[sweepthefloor]

I understand.

Your therapist advises isolating yourself through video games as a means of combating your social anxiety?

There's no reason that you could not go the entire rest of your life celibate. There are people that do so happily. But since you brought it up in the first 3 things in your thread, It seems a worthy thing to call you on.

When I could afford one, she asked what helped me de-stress. Videogames have always helped me calm down. I also find it easier to talk through a keyboard or with a controller in my hand.

Also it's not necessarily the sex I miss, it's the companionship. The thought that I made someone happy.

I wasn't looking to get called out...I'm trying to be more active here :/

how come everybody missed this one? (the allusion)

 

[hashtag45]

addit.
I am a lot older than you (so no pass intended) but what Sci-Fi movies do you like? Any more recent ones that you recommend?
Some of mine are: Prometheus, the Alien trilogy (can't beat those) and Divergent.

I quite agree that affection and companiinship is more than half the point. Companionship is not going to find you. In my early life I was an introvert. Staying inside my head didn't do me any good.

I didn't think you were looking to get called out. I just happened to think you needed it. Not that I'm optimistic it will help. Most people don't really take advice when they ask for much less unsolicited advice. & I realize this.

Stepping outside your comfort zone or at least right up to the edge of your comfort zone is going to be well worth it for you if you can gather the courage to do so. If you find women overly intimidating to approach and talk to start by talking to men. Then move up to small groups. Your video games are your thing comic books or whatever there has to be some place where like-minded people hang out. Even if you just hang around a video store a little longer than you need to, smile at a couple of people.

I sincerely wish you well.
